this is just a convoluted way to access information.

Imagine the use case you want to apply a filter to all your photos.

Either you give service provider access to all your photos, or they give you access to run the code out of their control.

There's no way to compromise this.

For this reason SOLID is pointless too. It is just a fancy way to saying "everyone will pay for their own S3 bucket and give access to random directories to random companies, oh and pay for the entire bandwidth"

Even if the author assumptions are true and valid, this is like saying mirroring RAID is a safe backup option :)

it is not. if you have 10 DB hosts with the same brand of nvme, and they fail under a workload, what good is it that you have 10 hot-hot failover hosts? you just bought yourself a few days, or hours if you are specially unlucky and using consumer grade.

"the only wining move is not to play"

really, if you are in a point where you hunt for hidden settings to disable in your browser? why not just use firefox?

you talk like either as if facetime is a good product, or as if you love anything from apple regardless.

i think it is a closed solution that sucks just like all the others.

i think every single one of those lock-in-for-profit platform only attract idiots (in the original greek work meaning of the word) and makes true open solutions that will ultimately help everyone slower to show up. Because eventually they will.

apple PR is running around downvoting facts :D

> I wonder what made them take this path?

it was literally an email that surface on the Epic store litigation, where one Apple exec says (quote from memory) "We can't have facetime for android because that will remove the barrier for families to buy Android phones for their kids"

So it will be crappy and have TONS of limitations (wouldn't be surprised it it only work with one apple device hosting) because it is only for legal excuse reasons.

Now one can only hope apple will add in code to run faceTime much slower on non-safari browsers, just like Google did with Firefox for meet. Ha. And then those practices will escalate and drive both companies to the ground :)

so, my last suggestion + a perfect disposable anonymous pseudonyms system.

infinite troll accounts would ideally be defeated by all the moderation being exposed and distributed. and infinite pseudonyms account would make toe the line efforts too expensive.

It almost feel like the only sane moderation system is to expose as much information as possible to all users? as much as the moderators have?

honestly, anyone with half a brain do not see that cryptocurrencies are re-hashing (heh) every single scam from the unregulated investment market times?

every single one of them. Many times over.

I think everyone knows, because, c'mon. But everyone thinks they are the smarter one and will be the ones fooling others and making money. Which makes this article, and yours, pointless, because, everyone already knows that.

> one of the core libraries it used was GPLv3 licensed

it's still untested in the real world if gplv3 "taints" derivative work that broadly.

Would they had to open source the entire solution? or just changes made to the library? nobody knows, and there's a lot of FUD to promote BSD licenses instead of sitting down and properly defining the limits in a practical way.

I don't think anything :) just that the price, if it were reflecting existing revenue sources, would be much lower.

The seller and buyer both agree that the promise of something else is what was traded, as the price proves.

They can say whatever they want. But they are not and never will be.

Their community management tools are awful and the philosophy they and the moderators abide to is that questions/answers must be closed as soon as possible.

For example: take one question such as "how to do X in Y". The answer today is "not possible". it is accepted. done. Tomorrow it is "now you use Y.abc" and that old question will never be updated because the person who asked is not interested anymore, or worse, it might even be locked. This is a very common pattern. There's also thousands of the "A: copy and past this, which i do not understand either" which completely kills any knowledgeable discussion.

SO will never be wikipedia and that is OK.

What we miss the the middle ground. And that is open for the taking! (hint)

SO is transient and disposable. It is about the error message of the day and by chance hits the language/pattern of the year. Wikipedia is about stablished knowledge already accepted and published. The open spot in the middle is about accepted techniques for the pattern of the recent years. Those are filled currently by random blogs, posts and news aggregators.
